Hello, everybody. This is the coming to you by the Word of God by the branch of the Lord. And we know that we are the branches. And we know that God is coming to us to work because the last two letters in Jesus is US, us. And it's a very great thing to understand these things when God shows them to you by the Holy Ghost that you know you ain't making up something yourself, but God is teaching you and bringing things that you have never heard before in the land and hearing people say things that uh that's never been preached or ministered. But nevertheless, it is for the good of the people. Anytime somebody's ministering you, if they're not pointing you toward God to worship God and not asking something out of you, you know that it is therefore God in them working to point you toward him. But the thing I want you to realize, everybody that uh points you toward God and then turn around and say, Well, I want this and I want that much time, it's money and material things, then you know to get away from that person because Brother Paul told us to. He said, supposing that gain is godliness from such withdrawal I seek. Because God supplies the need of those that belong to him, and he will always do so. So keep these things in mind, and uh we're looking into something a little bit uh uh uh more uh uh uh established uh message today, and uh trying to get the Christian people to understand that you do have a government, and your government is therefore not a man. Uh and uh because God therefore prepared all these things from the beginning, when God therefore initiated and started the uh church uh way back in Genesis. The church was started and it was to be uh there to rule all nations uh with a rod of iron. It was to be there to bring the people together as one, that the people might serve God as one and walk with God and talk with God. But the Lord has uh over the years, many years, has took and brought the uh message, his message, to the people about coming together into one mind and one body, one spirit, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, all ought becoming one in him. And God is trying to say to the people today, I want you all to come together as one in me so that I can protect you and take care of you and protect the footstool that I built for you from the evil that is there upon the land which is uh here today. And we have great evil. I have seen great evil from people, and uh they it don't mean no more to them than uh uh a drop of rain out of a hurricane rainstorm. It don't mean nothing to them really. But the thing of it is as uh I am praying for a day to come that the all the officers that are in uh leadership in the world in the excuse me, in the uh earth will be filled with Christian people who love one another, and that we will have leaders that will care about the people, not like we have today. Uh so uh it's a great thing to be able to know that every day I get up and I put my feet on the floor that I am voting for King Jesus every day. And I know that the Lord is gonna come and set things in order like they should be. And uh all of these people that don't believe and they uh make all kinds of jokes, uh, like I heard one on TV tell a crowd of people, uh young people that were praising the Lord, thank you, Jesus. They said, Well, you need to go down the street to the lesser crowd down there. And that made it very plainly what they were saying. They were not, therefore, respecting God in any form, any fashion, or any way. So remember that there's uh over forty-five thousand different religions in the world. Uh, and there's only one true religion. And I have ministered this to y'all and tried to get all of us's attention on it to know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Nobody can come to the Father except it be through him. Jesus Christ is also the Savior of the world. He's the Savior. And there is no other. God did not call no other, he did not anoint no other. The uh the one that we serve is Jesus Christ, who is the Savior of the world. And I will also testify unto you that Jesus Christ is the government of God. And uh let me tell you something, children, all of them saying, well, that's way out yonder in the sky somewhere. Well, I got news for you, God owns the universe and he can do what he wants to, but I've got news for you today that Jesus Christ is walking around in shoe leather today, and the people can't see him and they don't know him. And uh because of this, they are losing out on life. Because all they know is the life which is below the envy, the striving, the jealousy, and the hatred, and the terrible things, evil things in life. But I got news for you that for all of those that find uh Jesus and they really know Jesus by in the spirit, that they are in heavenly places with Christ Jesus, and they are safe from harm or anything else. And I will uh say that again. If you work and labor in God to be taught of God, to come forth and to rise up out of the dust into the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, and you abide in Christ Jesus, not being like a yo-yo going up and down, but that if you will abide with him and stay with him in the heavenly places, then he will be your Lord, your God, your Savior, and anything you need from the Father, you go to the Father through him, and you will receive it as long as it is for your good and for your benefit. But now uh Jesus even said himself uh when he was talking about people, he said, if you ask uh of your father a fish, will he give you a stone? Well, we know uh no, because God wants you to have the very best. And the very best is this, that you have life and that you have life more abundantly, and that you can walk in life and talk in life and see the light of life and enjoy the things of life that God has prepared for us uh for us to be able to uh enjoy these things. And it was not created for the evil, but it was created for the just. The just shall live by faith. So that's very important to know because we have faith in what God has written in his word that he will perform all the way up until the end. God will perform it. It don't matter what man says, it don't matter how smart their comments are or any of these things. Because Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do, and we do the same thing and we keep moving on up with God. We therefore we sing as we rise, we preach as we rise, and there's a beautiful song that brings that out to us. While mom and daddy, brother and sister, all of them are singing, preaching, and praying while they rise. And we are rising up in the Lord more and more. So now the uh thing of it is today the Lord has put on my heart for us to go over Isaiah chapter nine. And in chapter nine is where you really get uh Isaiah really brings down a lot about the government of God, and if you study that and uh pay attention to it and pray and seek the Lord, then God will take and begin to show you a lot about the government of God all through the scriptures. I mean, it is magnificent what you can learn and what you can understand through the scriptures as the Spirit of God works with you. And he begins to teach you all about the government of God, starting in Genesis all the way through Revelation. And it is a magnificent thing when God begins to show you, because I'm enjoying some of it. I'm not saying to you I know everything because I don't, but I do know enough to help my brothers and sisters understand that they have got a government, a Lord, a God, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, and his name is Jesus Christ, and there is no other way to enter into eternal life except through Jesus Christ. It don't matter what all these other people teach and what all that 45,000 plus says, I know, I know what uh when the Lord said, if thou wilt only believe, you go through that believing stage, and then you end up into the I know stage. I know what God has said in his word, and I believe it, and I believe God's gonna do exactly what he said in the coming short time that we got to be him. So now in Isaiah chapter 9, we're gonna begin reading with verse 1 and maybe a couple other places, but I want you to listen how Isaiah brings this thing out to us because at this time Isaiah was uh one of the saviors that God sent. When you read in each one of these books uh in the King James Version Bible, and excuse me, uh, and you go through these uh all these, you will find that it is written in the scriptures for God sent many saviors. So as you read through him and read what God recorded when he wrote it with his finger, as it says in Exodus 31 and 32 along there, that he therefore wrote it with his finger. And all of these saviors that God wrote about is in this book. And when it comes to Jesus, Jesus, listen closely now, Jesus fulfilled all of these uh saviors into one. And that was in Jesus Christ. So now you needn't look for another Savior, it ain't one. God said, This is my son, my only begotten son, and in him you shall believe. All right, whatever Jesus teaches you, that's what you're supposed to uh apply in your life, and that's what you're supposed to do. Even at the uh wedding uh there in uh what was it, John chapter 2, I think it is, where Mary was talking with the servants, and uh she told the servants, she said, Whatever he says unto you, do it. She didn't say play around about it, or or this, or that, or the other. She said do it. So what Jesus is teaching you is what you are to do, and Jesus is through this whole book. The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, they're all one, and one is all three. Why? Because they all have the same mind. Now in Isaiah chapter nine, we'll begin here and uh reading what Isaiah the prophet said. Okay. Nevertheless, the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation. She was vexed because of the dimness. People today are being vexed with heartaches, troubles, and pains, and all of this in their life, in their family, a lot of them in their churches, because of the dimness. That means the light's getting very dim and they're not following the light. And Jesus said, I am the light of this world. And then Jesus changed it around. When you become as he is, then you're the light of the world. You're the one that testifies of his resurrection. Why? Because his resurrection is inside of you, in you, in your heart and in your mind. I get so tired of hearing Christians say, Well, Jesus is on my side. And then they'll make another comment about Jesus being someone. Let me tell you something. Jesus said out of his own mouth, he said, I in you, and you and me, and we in the Father, we will take up our abode with you and shall be in you. You become one with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Your mind becomes as their mind. Your mind does not become as the world's mind or as the devil's mind or as the beast or none of them. Your mind becomes as the mind of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, because we all come to that same mind, same understanding, and we all weigh there is always room to grow. So, but if your light is getting dimmed, that's on your part, because you are taken and allowing the light to get dim to where you cannot see. And you remember what uh Jesus told Nicodemus uh when he let them know, he told them, he said, Except the man be born again, he cannot see. He cannot see the kingdom of God. And then he said, Except he be born of the water and of the spirit, he cannot enter, enter, enter the kingdom of God. So he is referring to the word and the spirit the word of God, the spirit of God in you, not on the outside of you, because it's on the outside of you, how's it gonna lead you and guide you? But his spirit and word needs to be on the inside, in your heart and in your mind. All right, you understand that? He said, in the last days, what days are we in now? Okay, ever since Jesus Christ came, we've been in the last days. All right, so what did he say? In the last days I will put my laws and my statutes and my commandments in your heart and in your mind. That means on the inside of you. So that when the Spirit needs to bring out the word out of your mouth, which becomes the mouth of God, then the Spirit can bring the word out of the book and tell the people and give them the understanding, like Ezra did when Ezra stood in the pulpit. And God began to instruct Ezra. He said, Teach them that know the law, and teach them that do not know the law. That's what we're into here today, children. Why? You say, Well, why is all this come about? And why is all the light getting dim and all of these things this day? And I was talking in 2024 is what I'm talking about. All right, so now if the light is getting dim, hence what happened. Y'all say, Well, how'd it do that? How'd it get there? Well, I got news for you. You remember about years ago that the government of the United States of America did not keep their own law when they said there would be freedom of religion. Y'all remember that? In the Constitution. Well, what happened was the government went on a binge against all Christianity. They did not go on a binge against the others because they ain't scared of them. But they went on the binge against all Christianity. And they tried to beat it out of everything. They beat it out of schools, out of colleges, out of universities, out of all the government offices. I imagine it was tough for the lawyer and the judge to go in there and the first thing hit them in the morning when they looked up and said, seen the Ten Commandments saying, Thou shalt not commit adultery, and thou shalt not steal after they've been out hoering around all weekend with some some other woman, other than their wife, in the natural form, and then they understood it in the natural form, and they therefore went into the courthouse and looked up and said, Oh my God, I got to read this again this morning. Well, it says the letter killeth, and that's what it's supposed to do. The letter therefore killeth. It kills out that part and desire of the flesh, because I said, Thou shalt not commit adultery. Now I got something else to mention to you while we're on this subject. I want you to understand also, if you are married to God through Jesus Christ, you're married to him. He is your he it is written in the scriptures, I the Lord thy God, I am thy husband. And we are to be the bride. Okay? So if we go out and commit fornication with other doctrines and other teachings and other uh uh spirits that is not of God, then therefore we commit uh fornication, spiritual fornication. And let me tell you something, brother and sister, one is just as bad as the other. So you got a choice. And people say, Well, I can't live a Christian life. That's a lie. Satan told you that, God didn't. Because all you got to do is learn his commandments, both natural and spiritual, and keep them to the best of your ability. That's all God is asking you to do. The whole duty of man is to love God and to keep his commandments. Ecclesiastes, the last chapter. I want you to understand that. So now here we are, the dimness is getting dimming because they have tried to beat Christ totally out of society today. And they still doing it. They are still doing it. But I am so glad to see that God is rising up young people that are not afraid to go into the gathering of the people where there's thousands at and say, I praise the Lord and I love Jesus. Where they hear or whether they forbear, it don't make no difference because God is real. And they gonna have to pay for all those boosters' words that they speak against Christ and against his the uh Godhead body. Okay, nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexitation. When at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebelon and the land of Nepthai, and afterwards did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea beyond Jordan and Galilee of the nations. Galilee of the nations. It was getting spread around. God's word was coming around and spreading around and beginning to try to help the people. Some accepted it, but some did not, just like today. The people that walked in darkness, that means listen now, walking in darkness is walking in sin, walking in the flesh, walking in anything that is contrary to God through Jesus Christ by the Holy Ghost. It means that you are walking in iniquity, abominations, and these things are not pleasing to God. But you say, Well, what are these things? Well, you got a book to read, children. God will tell you in this book what they are. He tells you all about the darkness from one page to the other. He tells you about that which is good from one page to the other. All right. But the people that walked in darkness in sin. All of these things, like they're doing today, have seen a great light. Jesus is beginning to rise up his people. And they are seeing a great light because Jesus is that light. And they are seeking for that light to come in them, that they also may shine the light, and let people see how to get away from all the evil that is in the world today. Have seen a great light, they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death. You remember what David said? He said, Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. There is in the Lord's prayer, he said, Father lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. You remember that? Everybody says Lord of prayer, but they don't know what it means. They're not trying to understand what he's saying in that prayer. God is saying the person praying that prayer said, God, please deliver me from evil and weakness and all these things. Alright? The land of the shadow death. And David said, Though I walk through the valley of the shadow death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they come for me. Do you know what the rod is? The rod is the word. Do you know what the staff is? That's all the people there to support in him. Every time, even in the natural form, the carnal form. You got the president when he gets in office, he elects up his own staff. Alright. Upon them hath the light shine. The light is shining. And they know that. They just scared of it and try to put it down so that they will not have to bear the shame of what they are doing and all the evil and abomination that they are creating. Alright, thou hast multiplied the nations. Now listen who done this. Thou hast multiplied the nations. God did. He told Abraham, said you shall be a father of many nations. So all of it's come out that way. And for those of you that likes to be prejudiced against one another, I want uh you to understand something. And I want you to understand it good. If Adam and Eve was the father and brought forth many children, then that makes you brothers and sisters today. It don't matter what nationality are. And I d you know I can't that's the reason I can't understand. Well, yeah, I can to, because the devil has blinded them. They think because they take a gun, the gun don't kill nobody. It's the person pulling the trigger. They're the ones that's guilty. You've got to get back to the mental health of the people. Before you try to say, oh, guns is this and guns is that. It's not that. It's the people and their mind, their wicked mind that is being filled with all the evil that's in the land today that is built by the government of man. Alright. Thou hast multiplied the nations and not increased the joy. You can't have joy when there's all kind of sin in your life. How do you expect to have joy, love, joy, peace, long suffering, and all of that, the fruits of the Spirit, when you're walking around in the flesh? It don't work that way. Jesus said, crucify the flesh and put it away. That means that as you grow in the Lord, the envy, the striving, the jealousy, these things that are of the flesh will fade away. As long as you continue in the Word. But you know what happens? If you don't continue in the Word and you start sliding back into the world, these things come back with a vengeance. The hate and all of these things, the works of the flesh, they come back with a vengeance, and you'll be a whole lot worse off than you were before you started. But if you don't start somewhere, you'll never know what you can do. You'll never know what you can accomplish. And not increase the joy, they joy before thee according to the joy in the harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. People's happy when they start getting gaining some things. But be careful not to gain too much because it will make a servant out of you. You will be serving all of the spoils that you get, which are the things that's in the land, and you begin to enjoy all them spoils so much it'll take you away from God. So don't let nothing, no idols come between you and God from this world to stop you from seeking God. Because an idol is anything that will hinder you from obeying the Spirit of God when it moves upon you to do something. It becomes an idol to you. Okay, I hope you understood that. If God tells me to go to uh Walmart, and I say, no, I'm going to Roses, and I jump up and go to Roses and don't go to Walmart, then I've been disobedient to the Spirit, and I have formed an idol between me and God. So I should obey the Spirit in all of his requests that he requests me to do. God said in the scripture, God is that spirit, and God also brought out, he said, obey my voice. I love that when people uh, you know, uh God begins to tell people say, obey my voice. And they say, Well, I can't do it because I can't hear it well. You know that little old teeny baby that's in that crib when it's just born? He can't respond to that request either. Because he can't respond to your voice. If you say, all right, little uh three-day uh old baby, I want you to get up and take the trash out. Why? Because it's not growed to that part, it's not entered into that part of being able to do that. He's not qualified to do that. But then when he gets up, maybe eight years old, and you've been teaching him things, and then it comes to that part of saying, okay, son, you're eight years old, take the trash out. And he don't do it, then yet it's a reckoning time between you and him because he has become qualified to do so. God looks at you the same way. Uh you say, well, why is this uh am I so miserable? Why is there so much trouble in my life? Well, God is the first one you need to go to and ask. You need to return to your first love. God is your first love. You need to return to him and ask him, say, Heavenly Father, please reveal to me what's going on while my life is so miserable. And if you will pay attention, and if you will seek him, read, pray, fast, and seek, draw nigh to God, and he'll draw nigh to you. And it's gonna take you a little time. You're gonna have to be persistent. You can't sit one day and pray one prayer and say, Well, he didn't answer that, so I ain't gonna do it. Let me tell you something. God always answers a prayer, and he has for me all my life that I've been with him. He'll always answer me yes or no. I can ask him about going somewhere, and I pray, and I do pray before I go, and I've got him on my heart and my mind. And if he tells me no, uh go not now. That's exactly what he meant. Wherever I had mine I was gonna go to, he's telling me don't go now. But that don't mean that later on, if you pray about it, he might say go now. He don't have to sit there and answer you and teach you a whole paragraph or half of a book for to tell you to say go or go not. Can't you understand him words? You should take time because God is the conscience that works on the inside of you, helping you and leading you to do good and to have a joyful life. But if you fight against that, you're going downhill and quickly. Alright. For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian. That's when Gideon went there. Alright, y'all remember Gideon had thousands following him, and God worked it all the way down to three hundred. And then God said, These three hundred will I defeat Syria. And he did. Listen to God, he knows what he's doing, people. These carnal minded people don't know. They leading us more and more into hell and tribulation, and I mean wantonness and everything, wantonness of everything. Always vote for Jesus every day your feet hit the floor. For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden. Now yoke has sent me put, to my understanding, around the oxen or horses or the mule's neck to pull a plough, pull a wagon, or pull whatever. But right here it says, for thou hast broken the yoke of his burden. God has taken the yoke of the world and of the burden, and he will, as you grow in him, he will take that yoke off more and more till you won't have a yoke. And you'll be able to receive your liberty and be able to serve God freely in all things in him, in Christ Jesus. And the staff of his shoulder. The staff is all the others trying to tell you what to do. Do this, do that, do the other. You know what a staff is? The president's got a staff, governor's got a staff. Staff is a whole bunch of people coming together as counselors. Okay? And the shoulder is the governing part. We're going to get into that. And the rod of his oppressor, as in the day, see, to do away with the rod of the oppressor. The word of the oppressor. I want you to search that out and find R-O-D and see how God looks at that word. Not how you look at it, not how other people look at it, but how God Himself looks at it. And that's just much as true as when you look in Revelation chapter 17 and verse 15. And God brings it out very plain what He sees. He says, And the waters are people. Now that's the way God looks at people. That they're like waters. He can see all the way through everything. And people today, well, the waters is that little old irrigation hole I got behind the house down there, and I water my garden. No. God's looking at it in a different spectrum. And he is the one that says the people are waters. Alright. Revelation 17 and verse 15. Alright. The rod of his oppressor as in the day of Midian. Okay? For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise. Confused. Babylon is confusion. Babylon is the title name given to all the forty five thousand plus different religions. And God said this. He said, Come out of her, my people, and be not partakers of her sins that you receive not of her plagues. Well, you say, I don't know nothing about Babylon. Well, how about going back into a King James Version Bible and go all the way back to the of where you first start reading about Babylon and who created Babylon and how it came to be and all of this all the way down to the scriptures, and when you get to the end of the book, you're going to understand a little bit more about Babylon. And then if you read it again, you're going to understand just a little bit more. And if you read it again, you'll understand a little bit more. But when you quit, the understanding quits. When you close this Bible and set it on a table, and you go out there and loaf around for a month or two months, and you don't read the Bible, and you don't pray, and you don't seek God, and you don't draw nigh to God, then the same thing's gonna happen to you. I believe this and I believe that and I believe the other ain't nothing but 100% confusion. And that's all's in the land today except for one, and that is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. All right, a confused noise. And garments rolled in blood, people today because they are not lifting up Christ, then therefore by them not lifting up Christ, which is the word to the people, then God said, I will require their blood at your hands. A lot of blood's gonna be required today. But this shall be with burning and fuel of fire. For unto us a child is born. Now we're beginning to get to the government of God. The child, the starting of a little teeny government that had to be nurtured and cared for until it growed up. For unto us a child is born, which is who? Jesus Christ. Unto us a son is given, the Son of God, and the government shall be upon his shoulders. Now see, it says to the all right, listen. Um the government, the child, the son, the government shall be upon his shoulders. And his name shall be called wonderful. The counselor. The mighty God, the everlasting father, the prince of peace. Now let's look at this. When you need him to be wonderful to you, he's there. When you need him to be a counselor to you, he's there. His name is Jesus. The mighty God, God in him, Jesus Christ was God in the flesh. The mighty God will be there when you need a mighty God to protect you and take care of you. The everlasting Father, he's everlasting. He seeks to give you everlasting life. The Prince of Peace He is the one that can ensure you with a hundred percent peace. The Prince of Peace. Now listen to verse seven. I want this to really sink in on you so that you will know. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end. Now listen what it's saying about Jesus, the Son, the Son that is born, the government, the one that is called wonderful, counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. It says of the increase of his government, Jesus Christ is the government of God. Of the increase of his government and peace, there shall be no end. You can get more and more peace. You can get more and more of whatever you need to sustain you to give glory to God. Alright? Upon the throne of David, he came from the house and the lineage of David. And David was after God's own heart. And upon his kingdom, the kingdom of God. What did Jesus say and John say? Behold, the kingdom of God is at hand right now. You can have it right now. If you make up your mind that you want God and you want God to want you, then therefore all you got to do is what? What did John say the kingdom of God is at hand? Jesus said the kingdom of God is at hand. Paul brought out the kingdom of God is at hand. Many of them did, letting the people know that you can enter into heavenly places in Christ Jesus and grow and grow and grow and grow. You can grow higher and higher and higher in God. To order him. Oh my. Now, let's get down to some uh word shining that. Well, when Moses walked into Egypt, the people were not there already established and set in order. They were not already in rank in their ranks. They were not already in all of this because why they were in bondage and captivity. And they had a pharaoh, which is the government of man, which is like the United States got a government and Russia's got one, China's got one, all of these are beasts rising up out of the sea. All right, but here it says when Moses walked in there and started teaching the children of Israel, he refused to be called uh the son of Pharaoh's daughter. So he therefore was a Hebrew, and a Hebrew is a Jew, and a Jew is a Christian. Romans chapter 2. It brings it out to us. A true Jew is one inwardly and not outwardly. Did that give you some understanding? I hope so. Because we become true Jews. What was Jesus? He was a Jew. Alright, so we are in him, not on outside of him. But we're in him. Which makes us that we have to be converted from a Gentile to a Jew through Jesus Christ. And then we shall be known even as we are known. We know what we worship for Jews. What? We know what we worship. Because why? Because we're a Jew. And to establish it. Alright, now when Moses went in there, in amongst the children of Israel, he began to let them know that he had come to set them in order, but they rejected to start with. Okay? But now um when these things happened, he had to go to work, really work with the people to bring them in. Now listen, it says, and to establish it, to establish the people with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. Jesus also is going to do the same thing. Jesus is coming inside of his people right now. Those that will accept him and love him. He said, if you love me, keep my commandments. Which means keep the commandments, the laws and statutes and commandments of the government of God, which is Jesus Christ. There is no other children. There is no other. God sent his only son, that's it. The rest of them are not going to receive life eternal. They're going to end up just being fertilizer for the dust, and that's it. The dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return. But the spirit shall what? Go back to the Father who gave it. From henceforth even forever. I got another scripture for you where Paul brought out. He said, If a man has hope in this life only, he is of all men most miserable. But we got hope in eternal life that is to come. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Everybody that has got a zeal, a determination, take on work. To see all the things that God said in his book, the King James Version, which was written off of the scrolls, and was put together by 52 squat uh scholars that was uh on uh King James' administration. They went under great pressure. So they had to take three languages, Greek, Latin, and uh uh Hebrew, and they took these three languages and made sure that word meant what it meant. They looked at all three of those languages, and then they wrote that word in this book by who the author, which is God. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. So God's gonna allow the zeal to grow in his people, and they're gonna become a very great people. Now listen, I want to say something here, because a lot of you, I hope you're paying attention. I hope you haven't gone to sleep. But now let's look at this part. When you begin to read about Israel, God's people, which are you, you are if you're in God. And if you are in God, then you will read the words that says thousands and thousands of them, thousand chariots, thousand horsemen, thousand mighty men. I mean just thousands and thousands. Well, today, when King Jesus stands up with all the members of the body, then the thing that's gonna happen is all these governmental men, they're gonna begin to fear it in. That's the reason they're trying to stop this thing because they know how it works. A lot of other people, they've done nothing but make up fairy tales about God's word, and they don't have any idea what God is talking about. But when Jesus Christ stands up into that giant with thousands and thousands upon thousands of members, and he stands up and he's gonna be the biggest one around, and having people put together, work together, walk together, talk together by his spirit, then therefore Jesus will dominate the world. The Lord sent a word unto Jacob and it hath lightened upon Israel. Now listen, the Lord sent a word into Jacob. Into, into, into Jacob, and he hath lightened upon Israel, God's people, the family of God. You become a Israelite through and by Jesus Christ, the grace of God. Now if you're not part of Israel, then you're not part of his. And let's give a definition so that you can understand what it is about Israel. The Israel that is across the water over there, and Hamas and all of them, they're bumming and killing and murdering and doing all these kind of things over there. All right. But that Israel that you look at so much across the water over yon, it did not become a nation until 1948. 1948. Some of you were still born in that year. 1948. And you still alive today. Well, I got information for you that's gonna help you. That is the natural Israel. The natural things going on, the cardal-minded things going on, to be cardal minded is dead. If you're basing your salvation off of Israel across the water of y'all, you're gonna be in great trouble when the time comes. But the Israel, the spiritual Israel that God created, which was his church, started way back in Genesis. And when God told Jacob, he said, Your name shall not be no more Jacob, but Israel, way back thousands of years ago, that is when the spiritual Israel, God's Israel, began. Now I want you to understand that. You're talking about two totally different Israel. There is always a natural and a spiritual. That which is first is natural and then that which is spiritual. So please understand that. I want you to understand that. That God's kingdom, his people, they also become spiritual. Worship God as spirit and in truth, for the Father seeketh such to worship him. Spirit means spiritual. Then Jesus said, brought it out in his words. The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and their life, which means spiritual. Why, it was God in Jesus talking. And all the people should know, even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart, got many of them out there today. And they are still part of this. They are still the children that come down from these, which has pride and stoutness of heart, when they stand about a week ago and said, Y'all need to go on down there where the smaller crowds at, when the young people were standing praising the Lord and saying, Thank you, Jesus. These evil people they are using pride and stoutness of heart to speak against Christ. But there's coming a day that they gon' hate that they done that. The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with huge stones. The sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars. Man can't change no trees into cedars. Therefore the Lord shall sit, but if you go back now I got something to tell you there, I just went over it too fast. The sycamores and is talking about the cedars. Do y'all remember reading in the scriptures, and I pray that you look it up, that word Jesus therefore spit it on the clay and put it on the man's eyes, and he asked the man, he said, What do you see? And the man told Jesus, standing there talking with me, he told him. He said, I see men walking as trees. I see men walking as trees. Some people are like a pine tree to full of sap. But the pine tree still has a great job when they cut them down and build houses out of 'em. Also, you got uh oak trees, which are very hard hearted trees. All right, hard hearted people, hard hearted trees. Are you beginning to get division? Now if you look up the sycamore tree and his characteristics, and you look up the cedar trees and any other trees you would like to, you will see what their characteristics are. Then you will learn something about looking at people and looking at trees. All the natural things you look at, God can teach you a revelation from them if you are willing to look. You know, I've looked at trees and they come up out of the ground and they start and they stay right together. It's a beautiful tree growing straight up. And it grows up maybe 10, 12 feet, and all of a sudden that tree becomes divided like a uh with one great big branch going one way and one great big branch going the other way. So I look at that tree and I say, well, tree, I know you're gonna die. Why? Because when those two branches get big enough, it's gonna split right down the middle, and that tree will be destroyed. But for those, and then you got handicapped trees. You see trees that are bent and twisted and all of these things, they handicap trees. They're not good for building houses. But they have a purpose. They have a purpose. But the thing I want you to get to understand here is there is a lot of division all in the world today. Being divided up, churches being divided, families being divided and destroyed, a lot of things dying out. But I want you to understand this. There's great revelations in that. The leaves are for the healing of the nations. You need to learn what that means. And if you search the scriptures, it will teach you if you search them out on leaves and branches. Jesus brought it out plainly. How much can you learn from these things? You can learn many spiritual revelations, as Brother Paul said, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord daily. Alright. Therefore the Lord shall set up the adversaries of resin against him and join his enemies together. The Syrians before and the Philistines behind. The Philistines it brings out in the scriptures what they are, to tell you what they are, if you look it up. The Syrians that'll tell you what they are, what they believe, what kind of doctrine they teach. It'll tell you that. All these answers that you want to find out about these things, you can find it in God's Word, the King James Version, because if you use them other Bibles, it changes the meaning. You won't get the understanding that you need. Alright, so now the Syrians before and the Philistines behind, and they shall devour Israel with an open mouth. That's what they've done today, casting down Christians, fighting against them, all in the land. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, and truly it's the people's fault, because the further away from God's git the less your protection is, and you go end up in some serious messes and troubles and problems. For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, they don't turn back to the first love. Go to God which can in a little while he can straighten the mess out at the end. Still look in the man. Man, please straighten me out. Man can't do nothing. Neither do they seek the Lord of hosts. I want you to look, Lord of hosts. Host means many, many, many men, many people, multitudes of people. Seek the Lord of hosts. Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush in one day. Now you can see what God has done to the people that were supposed to be his people. He said, God told us, he said, I have made you the tail and not the head. Why? Because they keep drawing back away from God. They quit learning about God. They quit getting God's sacrifices and uh they quit uh keeping his laws and statues and commandments and these things, and they say, Well, oh, God's gonna bless me. The wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience. For the leaders of this people cause them to err. Well, you got a lot of wisdom right there if y'all will listen to it. Verse 16. For the leaders of this people caused them to err. Who is it caused you to get away from God? Who is it that beat your faith out to where that you could not even stand with God in anything? I went to a church one night years ago, and I was in that church, and uh I was watching them the way they were voting and all. I was invited as a guest, and everything they voted was against the church, and against the church work. And I thought to myself, Lord, wait a minute, they're supposed to be a view, and they're voting against the church and activities of the church. They were the leaders in the church. And then you got the leaders in the county and the cities and the state and federal government. For the leaders of this people caused them to err, and they that are led of them are destroyed. Now I am reading out of Isaiah chapter nine and verse sixteen. I'm going to read it again because some of you some of you won't pay an attention. For the leaders of this people cause them to err, and they that are led of them are destroyed. Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men. Young men, you have overcome the wicked one, but these then, therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men. Neither shall have mercy on their fatherless. If God is not their father, they are a fatherless. And widows, widows are those that do not have God for a husband. And let's make this real plain so that you can understand. If a man that is called a pastor is not in God, he is not a pastor, because God is the one that is over all pastors. He is the great pastor. And those that are apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, helps, governors, all of them, if they are not in God and teaching in God, then they are not of God, and therefore they cannot be in that true position. Did you understand that? If I'm a call myself a pastor, I got to be in the great pastor, which is Jesus Christ. If somebody calls themselves a prophet, they got to be fully in Jesus Christ to be called a prophet. If they are in the world and go according to the walt works of the flesh, and they call themselves a prophet, then they are a prophet in the works of the flesh, not in God. Understand this. Get understanding. For everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly, which is foolishness. Things that are not of God. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. You see what's going on in the land tonight? There is a famine in the land. There is also a dwarf in the land. Look up both of these words, famine and dwarf. And see what's going on in the land. That's where you got uh the Lord said, Open ye eyes. Watch and pray. Look what's going on in the land and go back in the scriptures and read it so that you will understand. For weakness burneth as the fire, oh my. He shall devour the briars and thorns, troubles and cares, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest. The trees will be burned. And if many fires going on burning, showing you Jesus that fellow told Jesus, he said, I see men walking as trees, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest. A lot of fires, you see them on the news. And they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke. Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darken. There we go with that word darken again. Because they are getting farther and farther away from God. We are to return unto our first love. God is our first love. Be taught of God. John chapter six and verse forty five. It is written in the prophets, and they all shall be taught of God. Isaiah fifty four thirteen, and all thy children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy children. And the people shall be as the fuel of the fire. No man shall spare his brother. And he shall snatch on the right hand and be hungry, and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied. That's what's going on in the land today. The right and the left, the sheep and the goats. Do you understand that? The sheep and the goats. The sheep are on the right hand with the body of the Lord. The goats are on the left hand. They shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm, his own doctrine, his own teachings, his own stuff, which will not get him into eternal life. Manasseh, Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh, and they together shall be against Judea, which is the lawgiver. Mount Zion Judea, the Mount Zion, which he loved. Judea is the lawgiver. Mount Zion is in Judea. The word of God shall come out of Mount Zion to the people. Mount Zion shall be set on top of the seven mountains, the seven churches. Why? To govern them. His coming. It can't be stopped. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out steel. Now you see what he's saying there. Talking about Judea the lawgivers. The government of God must come together and be formed and brought together, and then it will be established as the lawgivers to all seven churches. And people you are in one of them seven churches. Why don't you look up Judea? Look up Zion and see what it says. For all this anger is not turned away. God's anger ain't turned away yet. It's turned away from those who repent, and who love him and walk with him and serve him. But those that have not done this, his anger is not turned away from them. The wrath of God comes on the children of the disobedient, but his hand is stretched out still, bringing forth judgment on the people, and it's getting worser and worser. The more I watch the TV and look at the things that's going on with the people in the land, I know that God's hand is still there and the wrath of God is still falling on the people because they refuse to return back to their first love. If you have in your heart and your mind sincerely and truthfully turn back to your first love and honor and love him, then therefore God will save you as he did those that were in Egypt when he come by and they marked the doorpost with the blood. And God told them, said what? Don't you touch those people? Well, for those that you ain't got the blood on the doorpost of your heart today in twenty twenty four, all the wrath that comes down on the people is gonna come down on you. But when the uh God passes by and he sees the blood upon the doorpost of your heart, the blood of Jesus Christ, the salvation, the forgiveness of sins, then therefore God is gonna pass you by and leave a blessing. But everybody that ain't got that, God's gonna let the cursing go upon thee, because they have not obeyed his voice. If you have done that which I the Lord thy God have commanded of thee, then thou would know that I the Lord thy God was in the midst of thee. But because thou hast not obeyed my voice, and thou hast not read, and thou hast not prayed, and thou hast sought not sought me to come unto me and honor me as your father, then I the Lord thy God will pour my wrath out upon thee, that all shall know toe. That hit his eye the Lord thy God who doeth this thing because of thy wickedness. A lot of things are being poured out all across the land today, children. The only one that can bring you out from under that curse, that wrath, and all these things that God is allowing, because the people are drawing away from him and falling a prey to the devil and the beast and false prophets and dragon, all these things, they're falling prey to it, is because they're getting further and further away from God. And when you get so far away, God can't protect you. Just like one of your children out in the woods, when they get so far away from you and a predator starts coming after them, then they cannot get to you quick enough to protect you from harm. Draw back nigh to God so He can protect you from all the evil people that's on the world, and give you life and life everlasting, and that you may have life and have it more abundantly in Him. God bless y'all, and I pray that you will search these things out because they are important, especially how the Lord is coming. In Jesus Christ. Heavenly Father, we thank you for this day, we thank you for your word. We pray, Father, for those that have heard thy word, that they will heed, and that they will seek unto you, Lord God Almighty, as our first love, and that they may therefore, Father God, understand and know that you have life and only you can give life. Let them understand this, that they may desire to come and be with you forever in Christ Jesus by the Holy Ghost. Amen.
